Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible dehydration that may be setting in secondary to the vomiting.
The dehydration will be making him dull.
I think the child should be admitted to the hospital and initiaTed on iv fluids.
If the child is vomiting, no matter what you feed he will vomit further and get more dehydrated.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
